"Wow. A #Ukrainian drone that crashed in #Croatia was carrying a 120 kg (265 lb) aerial bomb.

The bomb exploded on the ground, forming a funnel, according to the Croatian Ministry of Defense.

Meaning, it exploded on the streets of Zagreb"

Part of war 03/13/2022 - various reports
13 March, 2022 Zhukov

General situation (Dolan25 burbuja.info)

Today the Russians have taken the city of Izyum (Kharkov), the last important position that had to be taken in order to proceed to the bagging of the Sloviansk – Kramatorsk – Severodonetsk triangle, a stronghold of the coup army in the Donbass. I believe that the initiative of the movement will be taken by the Zaporozhye front, which has poorly defended areas ahead of it.

The Battle of Izyum - Cassad

On the other hand, the encirclements over Sumy and Chernigov have been consolidated and the Russian army is concentrating forces northeast of Kiev. I suppose the plan should be to launch a simultaneous offensive from the northwest towards the Vasilkov military airport (southwest of Kiev) and from the northeast towards the Borispol international airport (southeast), totally encircling the capital.

In the Mykolaiv Oblast there are no major movements, the preparations to enter the city as was done in Kherson have been completed and only the order remains to be given.

In general, the first part of the Russian offensive was completed in the first week and the last days have been aimed at preparing the second part, in which the main groups of the coup army (Kiev and Donbas) will be surrounded and the seizure of the south will be completed with the attack on Odessa.

17: 30 The Russians have already arrived in Barvenkovo, south of Izyum and east of Slavyansk, the siege is narrowing

Chronicle of the day (own elaboration)

Missile attack on Lvov - official statement Russian army (excerpt)

On the morning of March 13, high-precision long-range weapons reached the training centers of the armed forces of Ukraine in the village of Starichi and the Yavorovsky military training camp, reports the Russian Ministry of Defense.

In these facilities, the Kiev regime deployed: a combat training and coordination center for foreign mercenaries before sending them to combat areas against Russian servicemen, as well as a storage base for weapons and military equipment from foreign countries. As a result of the attack, up to 180 foreign mercenaries and a large batch of foreign weapons were destroyed. The destruction of foreign mercenaries who arrived on the territory of Ukraine will continue, the ministry said.

Review-Elijah Magnier

"At the command and control center in Yavoriv, U.S. and NATO officials coordinated attacks on Russian forces after collecting and analyzing all intelligence information gathered about the movement of Russian troops, their supply line and weak flanks.

The goal of the United States is to prolong this war as long as possible in order to exhaust the Russian army, weaken its military capacity and Russia's economy. Moscow is aware of the USA's goal and has decided to hit the table showing its determination to go further in this fight if necessary.»

A reminder to the US that Russia will not let weapons or advisers or mercenaries enter Ukraine to prolong the war, and a blow to the Ukrainian regime that believed it had a safe haven because so far Western Ukraine had not been attacked.

Central Front

Map of the latest developments in the southern sector Donetsk-Zaporozhe front, Donetsk subsector southwest

I do not know why they advance in a continuous front taking people after people, instead of concentrating forces for a rupture and then exploitation in the rear with a column of tanks . I guess because the Russians who attack are very few and there are so many villages that the Ukrainians can withdraw orderly from one defensive line to another, the fact is that the Russians have advanced about 20 km from Volnovakha and if they continue advancing they will take the fortified line of the Donetsk front by the back, the nearest stronghold is Elenovka, the village on the right, above

I think that if progress is so slow here it is because the Ukrainians have pulled troops out of the Donbass front to establish a new front from West to East here, to avoid that. But they fail to stop the advance and weaken at other points.

The criticism is unfounded, we forget how big Ukraine is. Only the front of Donetsk from the city to Mariupol were 200 km.

The Russians have advanced an average of 20 km a day, which is fine by the rules of World War II and having to overcome tough opposition.

If they are attacking on a broad and slow front, it has its raison d'être. As the Russians have few troops it is better to advance slowly but consolidating the advance. For a deep attack, such as the classic penetration with tanks, there are not enough forces and the open corridor and the fence could not be consolidated.

Anyway, from Zaporozhe to Donetsk there are 200 km.It is a front too long for Ukrainians to keep it, they can not do it with a mobile defense because they are crushed by aviation when they move. They only maintain the front here at the cost of pulling troops out of the Donetsk – Luhansk fortified front, and have already had to send many to make a new front in the face of the Luhansk advance to the East. They will end up spreading and a rupture will occur when the Russians bring in reinforcements or finish cleaning Mariupol by releasing forces.

Strelkov report-Assault on Avdeyevka, Donbass front

As I was informed yesterday, with the massive support of artillery and aviation, the Armed Forces of the DPR stormed Avdeyevka early this morning.

I do not understand the need for a frontal attack on this extremely fortified urban-type settlement. The losses will be large, regardless of the outcome.

Other reports confirm the intense "exit" cannon in Donetsk,

My opinion:

- They saw an opportunity and seized it, as in Popasnaya opposite Luhansk

- The ukros were preparing a provocation with chemical weapons, Avdeyevka is an industrial city, and famous for the continuous fighting in it and the industrial zone: Promko, during the war of positions.

Let's hope for an early release with the lowest possible casualties. If they attack because the Ukros are withdrawing forces from the fortified front to shore up the flanks, that's a good sign.

Reports via Telegram of DNR militia and residents

Donetsk front

Ukrainian terror bombings-Alexander Zhuchkovsky:

"The boring, pointless, monotonous cannonade does not stop. As our colleagues rightly point out, the brutal bombing of Donetk, Gorlovka and beyond (Tochka missiles constantly fly into the DPR, but are intercepted by air defence) in recent weeks has no military logic. Ukrainians know that their offensive plans will never come true. The desire to fire all the ammunition so that the advancing Russians do not get it is the only, though stupid, attempt to explain this artillery terrorism. But terror is never self-explanatory. Terror exists for terror. All Ukrainian terbats (terrorist battalions) near Donetsk know that they will soon have to escape the siege (which is almost useless) or die for greater Ukraine according to the scenario of the same failed terrorists of Greater Germany of 45. The only reaction that is available to this biological material without any sign of humanity is to quench feelings of revenge and hatred through the desire to finally make the Russians suffer. »

Assault of Avdeyevka

Apart from Strelkov's report, the following reports followed in the morning

Anna Kharkova:

In Avdeyevka, heavy artillery preparation was carried out in the morning. In some places, enemy positions are being destroyed. Although a cauldron has not yet formed in Avdeyevka, the temperature is getting hotter.
Although the ukros are not fleeing en masse, they are already panicking.

13: 49 Another four Sukhoi SU-25 aircraft bombed in the direction of Avdeyevka. There's an assault underway. Our people are trying to occupy the town.

13.50 There is a powerful artillery attack in the north of Donetsk.

14:45 The Kievsky district is shaken by rumblings. It is very difficult to distinguish in this cannonade which sounds are arrivals of the enemy or shots of ours.

17:00 hours
It seems that the operation to liberate Avdeyevka from various directions has entered a decisive phase.

The advance of the assault units of the People's Militia of the DPR is accompanied by the suppression of enemy firing points and the destruction of their positions by artillery.

The offensive in the village of Avdeyevka began a few days ago. Previously, attempts to advance and gain a foothold on the enemy lines by the assault groups of the DPR "Somalia" tank battalion, with the support of the infantry, were unsuccessful.

The coke plant is on fire.

22: 00 hours. Shelling, mortar fire and light weapons continue along the front. The enemy is doing aerial reconnaissance with drones over Gorlovka.

22: 50-Thunder of canyons in the north of Donetsk. There is a fierce and bloody battle going on. Our forces are attacking the Ukros in the direction of Avdeyevka.

23: 00 hours. New air strikes against Avdeyevka with bombs of 500 kilos.

Luhansk Front

14:00 During the offensive in the direction of Popasnyansky, units of the People's Militia of the LPR discovered the place of mass murder of civilians in the area of the Popasnyansky railway. Retreating Ukrainian troops drove people out of the basements and used them as human shields. Those who resisted or tried to escape were shot, reports the Ministry of Defense of the Republic.

Ukrainian forces just can't move out - because their supply situation (fuel) is desperate - and all mounted movement would be targeted by Russian air force.
They would have to go on foot at night over 300km to get away - Game is over for the Ukranian forces in the east.

Russia must, if it is run by sane leaders, install military bases and occupy central and eastern "Ukraine" for at least 20 years. Just
like the US did and still does in Iraq. Any withdrawal will amount to a pointless waste of troops and civilian lives. The Banderite
bacillus will quickly repopulate the country and we will be back to February 23, 2022 in less than a year. NATzO will push a massive
colour revolution since it can pay millions a few dollars to march on the streets. This "people power" will give us 2014 in short order.

The vast majority in the center and east have Stockholm syndrome and need to be treated for mass media brainwashing induced
cognitive problems. Maybe in 20 years they will have recovered their brain function and hopefully their children will have less corruption.
This is not going to be easy since even the children will crave NATzO propaganda as holy truth. But at least they will not have direct
daily brainwashing sessions which means many of them can have a better grip on reality.

I read somewhere Russia trying to create Kherson' s republic. Anyone heard something about it?

IMHO I believe this slow advance north allows further weakening of the Ukrainian forces holding the LOC while slowing rolling them up AND allows the Mariupol clean up to be completed that once done will free up extra manpower and resources. Remember that most of the clean-up is being given to the DPR as it's their homeland but so is this area being liberated. After 8 years who can blame them for wanting to finish this.

The point is, that it was formally stated by the Croatian MoD&authorities.
It is a crystal clear attempt to provoke reaction, debunked and referenced.
And the whistleblower is a NATO member.
It will just continue, ending up with conclusion, that among NATO, there are only few members who even care of Ukros.
And the others gives a shit that they care ...

Correct, I read about it as well 2/3 days ago. The Russians are planning on staging a referendum regarding establishing the Peoples Republic of Kherson.

DerWolf wrote:I read somewhere Russia trying to create  Kherson' s republic. Anyone heard something about it?

Some of the Regional councilors reported they were contacted by the Russian military and told to vote for this. Red flag from a group of Banderas most likely.

That was a Ukrainian claim

I'd wait for proof first. I don't see the point in such a republic, it wouldn't have any popular support.

It's a new type of drone. We had surveillance drones, then armed drones, then suicide drones, and now we have actor drone.

It's job was to pretend to be a kalibr missile to oblige nato to attack Russia. Too bad for them ukrainians actor are shitty and stupid.

Not just Ukrainians, what happened on the NATO end? How did they let it through to fall in a public place with full I/D established?

Apparently Russian forces after going through Izhim have advanced to within 20 kilometers of Slavyansk. Slavyansk... now that brings back some memories. Cannot imagine either the DPR or LPR don't want that honor for themselves.

Realize that it was 8 years ago but wonder how many members here remember that story.

Because I speak Spanish, I understand Portuguese very well. He's saying that all the troops on the base were killed. They were a foreign legion with troops from the United States, Canada, Western Europe, France, South Korea, and Chile.

It is necessary to guarantee the occupation with well-prepared and well-paid Syrian and Chechen mercenaries. They will not have contemplations with these Ukrainians.

The Croatian envoy even refused to take the protest note over foreign fighters a week ago


And this is from a foreign merc. How clueless this guy is, thinking that Russia gets its info on mercs from the media (well maybe that helps as well). With such a callous attitude he might not make it long.

About 1.4 thousand wounded during the special operation of the military of the Russian Federation sent for rehabilitation

To date, approximately 1,400 servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces, who were injured during the conduct of a special operation in Ukraine, have been discharged after undergoing hospitalization and sent for rehabilitation. There they are expected by individual recovery programs, which are compiled separately for each patient.

This is reported by the publication "Red Star". According to the newspaper, all servicemen sent for rehabilitation after the successful completion of all recovery procedures are ready to return to duty.

"Everyone ... expressed a desire to return to their units for further tasks as part of a special military operation after a full recovery," the publication indicates.

Particularly distinguished Russian soldiers were also awarded state awards. So, in the Central Military Clinical Hospital named after A.A. Vishnevsky, a solemn event was held at which Russian Deputy Defense Minister Gennady Zhidko presented ten servicemen with medals "For Courage" and one with the Order of Courage.

Earlier, Russian military doctor Maria Miroshnichenko came under mortar fire during the evacuation of wounded servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The militants of the National Battalion attacked the ambulance, almost completely destroying the car.
